title: [Facial paralysis in infancy. Clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects].
abstract: We present seven cases of facial paralysis in newborn and infants from a series of 88 patients (pediatrics and non pediatrics) seen in a fourteen months period (October 1987 to December 1988). Current approaches to diagnosis and treatment, including pharmacological treatment with steroids and surgical treatment are described. All patients we present in this paper recovered a good facial activity and no secondary effects were found during treatment.
